I have a couple of these from a handful of times I’ve seen the Mets in DC; they always made me jealous because the Nats had free programs which included baseball cards. Sure, they were on so-thin-it’s-just-barely-cardboard cardstock, but they were free and they were baseball cards. If I liked the Nats at all, I would’ve been all over these.

I didn’t realize they stopped doing these because I only go into Nationals Park when the Mets are visiting, it’s far enough that I can only go to weekend day games, and the Mets haven’t been in DC on a weekend since 2013 (I think). That “no weekend Mets” scheduling is a trend that continues into 2016, and after three years I can no longer view this as being a quirk in the schedule, but something the Nats ask for in order to minimize the “invasion” of Mets fans. Just another reason to regard the Nationals organization with disdain.

And now, I’ll stop my kvetching and head over to Clyde’s Stale Cards to check out h is post…

I'm trying to obtain a baseball card signed by each player who has appeared in a game for the New York Mets. I currently have 928 of 1,026 Mets players. Click here to see who I still need.
